Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Stack the corn tortillas on a cutting board and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice them into 6 triangular wedges each.
Place the tortilla wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them and gently toss with your hands to evenly coat each piece.
Sprinkle the salt over the tortilla pieces and toss again to distribute the seasoning.
Take a microwave-safe plate and arrange a single layer of tortilla wedges on it, making sure they do not overlap. You may need to do this in batches.
Microwave the tortilla wedges on high for 1 minute. Flip each piece over and microwave for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave's power, until the chips are golden and crispy. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortilla wedges until all are cooked.
Let the chips cool completely on the plate before serving, as they will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or dip, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
